Silverfish control for Sunnyvale, less common here than in the coastal fog belt but still tied to older homes with damp storage areas.
Call (844) 924-1337The coastal fog that keeps humidity high in cities right on the water rarely makes it as far as Sunnyvale, tucked well into the South Bay where the local climate runs drier and sunnier, the very quality the U.S. Post Office once nudged the city toward naming itself after. That advantage disappears indoors wherever an older home still has a raised foundation, an aging crawl space, or a storage room that never gets much airflow.
Those isolated damp spots are exactly what silverfish need. They feed on starch, not crumbs, the kind found in book bindings, wallpaper paste, and boxes of stored paper. An infestation tends to surface first as gnawed boxes or damaged documents in one of those closed off areas rather than anywhere near the kitchen.
